First song to "Blow You Away"...


What was the first song that hit you between the eyes and took over your mind? Something that really put you into an altered state (without the drugs).

The first time I heard "Whole Lotta Love" in 1969 I couldn't believe what my ears were hearing. Jimmy Page's guitar grabbed me by the head and turned my brain into a Denver omlette.

Blues Project, "Steve's Song", live. First time I heard a really loud band.
Also, We Can Work It Out by those British lads.
no doubt Jimi Hendrix, "purple haze" 1967 before & after I became experienced
I'm 52 and can no longer remember the fisrt song to blow me away. It's been too many years and too many songs. The mention of Tommy James and the Shondells does bring to mind "Crystal Blue Persuasion."
